Lyrics Paul Overstreet

Paul Overstreet

Straight And Narrow

Looking back I clearly see

Where I was better off

One wrong turn, then before I knew it,

I was lost.

Some say I was lead astray

But I'm the one to blame

I'm just glad I found my way

Back to this little road again.

I gotta keep walking

Down the straight and narrow

Those winding roads are hard

On your heart and hard up on your shoes

Well you can take if from a veteran of the shadows

The straight and narrow is the road to choose

There's temptation on the left

There's temptation on the right

If you need a little help,

Keep your eyes upon the light

Keep on walking

Down the straight and narrow;

Any other road you take

Will lead you toward the blues

If you want to save yourself a world of sorrow

The straight and narrow is the road to choose.

Well I know you've heard of greener pastures

Just beyond the hill

Once you've turned the corner

You'll find its a package deal

There may be good times now and then

But the truth be known

Just a trick to keep you lff the path that leads you home

Better keep on walking

Down the straight and narrow.

Those winding roads are hard

Upon your heart and hard up on your shoes.

Well you can take if from a veteran of the shadows

The straight and narrow is the road to choose.

There's frustration on the left,

And aggravation on the right.

And it will worry you to death

So if you value your life

You better keep on walking down

The straight and narrow;

Any other road you take

Will lead you toward the blues

If you want to save yourself

A world of sorrow

The straight and narrow

Is the road to choose.

The straight and narrow is the only road you should use.
